THIS IS JUST A TEST
Well, actually, it's not. I say that so there is no expectation, a free-of-judgment area, an extra credit on the quiz.
When someone gets photographed by, the guesswork is already taken care of. I spent a few hours planning the lighting and composition, So the seat was already warmed up to get their pictures. 70% of the time, the test shot ends up being THE shot. In preparation for open studio, I spent a couple of days in the studio testing and making sure things looked halfway decent. Sometimes when I prep, the image looks different from what I initially thought, so it takes a few tries to get it right. After a few hours of finetuning, I had my good friend Aaron sit in. Within five minutes of the test, we got these two images which I love! Sometimes the test is the real test, not the shoot day.
Portraits
Due to some health issues,I have taken past few months off production work. In an attempt to “get out there” my friend Allison and I did a shoot in the parking lot of my apartment complex. Yes a parking lot lol. It brings me back to 2010 when I first picked up a camera. I would see photographers doing shoots in parking lots and more urban spots like train tracks and abandoned buildings. If you do happen to live in the DC area, most of those abandoned buildings are now apartments, really nice apartments at that. Anyway I loved the way these images turned out.
